There are
times when you want different things to satisfy your needs, your basic needs
are often given the first preference, but can you think of someone who would
give preference to a habit and a passion, rather than the basic needs, or what
we call the basic needs?
Now here
comes the story of a man who re-defined the basic needs for himself, his
definition was to satisfy the need for living, his quest for knowledge gave him
the satisfaction that no materialistic thing would provide, for him that was
his whole world, he used to say; World its self isn’t that real how a book is,
as books are narrated and the world is a just a perspective. You perceive what
is projected, and what is projected, are the ideas of different people having
different motives behind. This man used to live a life on a train station,
spending nights travelling illegally and eating out off trash cans. And find a
place where he can peacefully read whatever he wanted, people used to look at
him and questioned him if they get a chance that why isn’t he trying to make
his life better than wondering here and there reading, and he would always just
smile at them thinking, that this is what he is doing and they are unable to
see. That was exactly what is didn’t wanted for himself, “things happening in
front of his eyes and still he not being able to understand”.
And finally
he wanted the world to know what is behind that entire crazy act. He had a philosophy
that wealth firm believes on certain things that needs to be explored on a
broader horizon. And living like a hobo is helping him understand things in a
way that are not influenced by other believes, though he was a millionaire he
preferred living like a hobo instead. (Based on a true story)
Now we don’t
find many people like that but there are people who are keen for knowledge and
have a quest for fame, just like our college students and helping them would
serve the purpose equivalent to the MR Hobo’s motive, which was “To understand
the things in their real perspective”.
